Headspace gas chromatography method for the analysis of volatile impurities in a hormone replacement transdermal patch.

J Chromatogr A

Department of Analytical Chemistry, Rhône-Poulenc Rorer, Collegeville, PA 19426-0107, USA.

Published: October 1999

A headspace GC method was developed for the analysis of residual solvents in transdermal skin patches. These solvents could arise from the manufacture and process of the patch material.

Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an important modality of renal replacement therapy (RRT). Peritonitis and ultrafiltration failure are complications that have a long-term impact on PD patients. Besides touch contamination, procedural errors and clinical reasons of peritonitis, contaminants, and constituents of peritoneal dialysis fluids (PDFs) have been implicated in causing peritonitis and ultrafiltration failure.

Piper fruits are one of the main dietary sources of , a fruit-eating bat largely responsible for dispersing their seeds. To investigate the mechanism of this plant-animal interaction, ripe and unripe fruits of were collected in the morning, afternoon, and night. The volatile organic compounds (VOC) were obtained through dynamic headspace (HS) and hydrodistillation (HD) and were analyzed by gas chromatography with flame ionization detector and GC-MS, resulting in the identification of ninety-five compounds.

Bio-valorization of agri-food wastes lies in their possible conversion into fermented foodstuffs/beverages and/or biodegradable polymers such as bacterial cellulose. In this study, three different kombucha cultures were formulated using agri-food waste materials, citrus fruit residues and used coffee grounds, as alternative carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. Over 21 days of fermentation, the kinetic profile was followed by monitoring cell number, pH variation, minerals, trace elements and production of bacterial cellulose.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic compounds resulting from incomplete burning of organic materials. This work describes the successful layer-by-layer fabrication of a novel zinc oxide nanocomposite made of zinc oxide nanoparticles, aniline, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes on a stainless steel wire by electrodeposition. The coating and extraction conditions were screened, optimized, and validated using factorial design and central composite design, respectively.

Olfaction mediated by the antennae is a vital sensory modality for arthropods and could be applied as a tool in pest control. The ectoparasitic mite poses a significant threat to the health of the honey bee worldwide and has garnered global attention. To better understand the chemical ecology of this host-parasite relationship, we collected and characterized the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from and used electroantennography (EAG) to record the responses of honey bee ( and ) antennae to the different VOCs.
